Hello, this is Peter Stewart and welcome to episode 71 of your Planet Reigate Podcast. This is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here this week. Well, a local rail route is closing for 16 days so that critical upgrades can be carried out. I'll give you more information about that. Also, another vacant office building in Reigate is being turned into flats, and it's the last day of business for a local restaurant. Plus, the launch of a new support group just for women, which is happening in the area, and help and advice for parents of ADHD children. A local workshop is inviting you along. In our new sequence, part two, a wassailing event is happening this weekend to bless local apple trees. It sounds an intriguing event and you're invited to go along as well. Top marks for a local car park. We'll tell you where it is. A local village pump is being renovated and I'll mention how you can go along and take a look and see it in all its splendour.
And we report on what's been on socials. about what local people say Reigate High Street desperately needs. Plus, we'll be hearing about a new gaming group that's been set up at Gatwick. So if you were bitten by the bug over Christmas and New Year of playing dice and dealing cards mixed up with a bit of strategy and skill with a bit of help from Lady Luck, stay listening for our chat with Derek Cox. about a group that you can go along to and you can play with others of a similar mind as you roll the dice on a Wednesday night. Planet Ryke eight stars this week. Thanks for a manager in Redhill. In Priory, Bark makes a reappearance. We hear from a local dog owner about their pet. This week, Princess tells us about Ellie, her French bulldog. And our 60-second soundscape before we go at the end of the show. Natural sounds from a place you know. This week, from Reigate Heath. Summer amongst the heather.
With wood pigeon, long-tail tit, blue tit, chiff-chaff and bees. All that as we celebrate our love of life around here. on the Planet Rygate podcast.

This is the Planet Rygate podcast. Thank you so much indeed for all your messages of support. And it's been really overwhelming over the last few weeks when we've been running that series about Bancroft Road and about the pool and the picture palace. In other words, the Lido and the cinema that were originally built on Bancroft Road by the couple, Mr. and Mrs. Bancroft, back in the 30s, 40s. It's been a really interesting story to tell over our Christmas and New Year periods. So if you want to scroll back and see those and play those, we've had a really big response as well to our coverage. And I got this message from Anne who says, thank you for including the history episodes in the Planet Reigate podcast. Me and Dad are looking forward to listening to more of them.
Dad's particularly interested in the story about the Reigate Hill plane crash, which I know you featured. And also, Anne has passed on some cuttings about some other stories that she thinks I might be interested in as well about some local history. So we're going to be looking at doing a bit more on that as well. Won't give too much information away. We'll keep our powder dry on those particular stories. But yeah, if you're interested in that story about the Reigate Hill plane crash, then go to episodes 25, 26 and 27, where we actually heard from Tadworth-based military historian Tim Richardson, who told us that full story, as I say, episode 25, 26, 27 of the wartime plane crash on Reigate Hill, what happened there. and what is left there.
You may have seen the memorial, which is there to this day. Also, thank you very much indeed to some other people who've got in touch. Rory Purcell bought me a coffee. Rory says, thank you for your podcast on Reigate. I lived in Reigate for all of my childhood and into the 20s, or into my 20s, I should say, before moving overseas. Nostalgic and interesting to stay informed.
